SUMMARY:Theatre Production: "Cloud 9" (Plumb-Fleming Studio Theatre)
DESCRIPTION:Written in 1979 and filled with time jumps, cross-dressing, ge
nder switching, biting humor, double-casting, and age-defiance, "Cloud 9"
offers an opportunity for British playwright Caryl Churchill to deploy p
ainful satire in questioning preconceived notions of family status, gende
r constructs, social norms, and sexual roles. Drawing a parallel between
colonial and sexual repression, Churchill sets her play first in the expl
oitative atmosphere of Colonial Africa during the Victorian Era, and then
in the 1970s and early '80s sexual revolution of London. Though 100 year
s pass between acts, the same characters continue their struggles to defi
ne, maintain, or suppress their true identities under the social codes an
d constructs of their times. Winner of the 1981 Obie Award for Playwritin
g, Churchill's "Cloud 9" reveals the ties of colonial oppression and the
bindings of post-colonial identities. The show runs April 26-27 and May 3
-4 at 7:30 p.m. and May 5 at 2 p.m. in Plumb-Fleming Studio Theatre, Arms
trong Hall. Tickets are $10 for adults, and $7 for seniors/students/youth
. Free for faculty, staff, and students. For tickets contact the Box Offi
ce at 319-895-4293.
